My school (university) was all Windows. Plus, if you were in the CS programs, you had free access to the Microsoft Developer Network which gave us free product keys to XP, Vista, and Windows 7; along with a host of other MS products. On top of that, copies of Windows and MS Office were subsidized for students. Allowing anyone attending the school to purchase copies for under $10.
